City to benchmark salaries against service delivery

Harare City Council is set to carry out a salary survey and benchmarking against service delivery following stakeholders' concerns that the city is spending much of its revenue towards employment costs at a time when service delivery has plummeted.

Stakeholders feel the city is over paying its workers compared to other sectors and Government.

Harare Mayor Bernard Manyenyeni confirmed the development, saying council salaries should not be a secret and the city when advertising for posts used to factor in the remuneration on the advert.
